Hello,
I had two test databases on one server that I had been experimenting with for transactional replication. I wanted to delete the publication from one database and the subscription from the other and finally delete both databases. I deleted the publication, the subscription , the jobs related to them and finally the databases. I must confess that i wasn't as careful as I would be if I hadn't planned on just deleting everything. So what I have now is nothing appearing in SSMS under local publications or local subscriptions for these two test databases (but pubs and subs for other useful things) but in replication monitor the publication shows up with a red x.
I cannot use sp_droppublication @publication='my pub name' because the publication database is gone. Can I do anything to remove this publication from replication monitor? This isn't a production server yet it has some users who would be severely inconvenienced if I have to drop all replication and rebuild. Is there any other way?
Thanks.
